 Brownfields Revitalization and Environmental Restoration Act of 2001
Another controversial point in the provision included in BRERA is the requirement that the contiguous landowner have undertaken due diligence before acquiring the property and not have known or had reason to know of the contamination from another source.
BRERA would accept the second argument and provide that a person who knowingly purchases property that has been contaminated from another source may not satisfy the contiguous property owner defense, but may take advantage of the liability protection provision for prospective purchasers.
BRERA includes provisions designed to clarify what investigations will meet the "all appropriate inquiry" standard; these provisions are even more important under the new legislation because meeting this due diligence requirement is a component of the new prospective purchaser and contiguous property owner defenses, as well as the innocent landowner defense.

The Brera is quite appropriately an art form and Paris is at the heart of most artistic thought.
Many builders of cars we love are nonetheless often forced to create prototypes that don’t have all their gears, don’t have the stated engine, and have rev limiters set at 3000 rpm to prevent rash journalists from getting too giddy during exclusive tests.
